SW TCH NG
DATA SHEET
The 3Com®Switch 4800G Gigabit Family delivers
outstanding security, reliability and multi-service
support capabilities for robust switching at the edge
or aggregation layer of large enterprise and campus
networks, or in the core layer of medium- and small-
sized enterprise networks. The family is comprised of
Layer 2/3/4 Gigabit Ethernet switches that can
accommodate the most demanding applications,
providing resilient and secure connectivity and the
latest traffic-prioritization technologies to optimize
applications on converged networks.
Designed for maximum flexibility, these switches are
available with 24 or 48 Gigabit ports. Power over
Ethernet (PoE) and non-PoE models are offered, with
optional 10-Gigabit expansion capability and SFP
mini-GB C Gigabit combo ports for fiber flexibility. The
all-SFP model with dual power supplies, for highest
availability applications, allows for very flexible fiber
with copper Gigabit connectivity.
Multiple Switch 4800G units can be stacked together,
up to nine units high, using patented 3Com
eXpandable Resilient Networking (XRN®) technology.
With XRN, it is easy to build fully redundant networks,
with aggregated ports spread across multiple units,
with all units presenting themselves with a single
simplified management interface.
Each of the five 3Com Switch 4800G models comes in
a convenient, stackable 1U-high enclosure:
Switch 4800G 24-Port. 24 10/100/1000 Mbps ports
with two dual-port 10-Gigabit slots; includes four SFP
Gigabit combo ports
Switch 4800G 48-Port. 48 10/100/1000 Mbps ports
with two dual-port 10-Gigabit slots; includes four SFP

KEY BENEFITS
High Expandability for Investment Protection
All models in the 3Com Switch 4800G Gigabit Family
include auto-sensing 10-, 100- and 1000-Mbps
connections, giving you the ability to gradually upgrade
your edge connections to higher bandwidth while
retaining full compatibility with slower desktops. Support
for dual-speed SFPs facilitates connections to both 100
and 1000 MB fiber cabling, making network migration
easier.
Two expansion slots, each supporting available 1- or 2-
port 10-Gigabit extension modules, allow for the adoption
of 10-Gigabit interfaces for high bandwidth unit-to-unit
local connections and uplinks, helping you to protect
your network investment.
Every Switch 4800G model has the ability to pass and
route Pv4 and Pv6 data. As an Pv4/ Pv6 dual-stack
platform, the switches are Pv4- and Pv6–ready,
supporting the major L3 routing protocols, multicast
protocols and policy routing mechanisms and ensuring a
seamless migration from Pv4 to Pv6.
Premium Security
Multiple layers of security are built into each Switch
4800G. Management access can be limited to known
stations and unauthorized access can be prevented by
encrypting management traffic with SSH for CL access,
SSL/HTTPS for web access and SNMPv3 for SNMP
management access.
Advanced processor queuing mechanisms help prevent
Denial of Service (DOS) attacks while DHCP snooping
ensures that devices can only receive an P address from
a legitimate DHCP server on the network. Enhanced
Access Control Lists (ACLs) restrict users to certain
areas of your network. Unicast Reverse Path Finding
(uRPF) technology verifies the authenticity of a route from
the receiving interface to the source address, deleting the
data packet if the route does not exist and preventing
malicious network attacks that are based on source
address spoofing.
Advanced network access control features, including
EEE 802.1X and MAC-based network login, help ensure
that only authorized users get access to the network.
Multilayer eliability
3Com 4800G switches interoperate with a number of link
reliability technologies including Rapid Ring Protection
Protocol (RRPP), a fast ring protection mechanism
created by 3Com. f a link or node on the Ethernet ring
fails, RRPP rapidly moves traffic to a backup link,
ensuring normal operations without impacting network
convergence time. Other network resiliency features
include Spanning Tree, Rapid Spanning Tree and Multiple
Spanning Tree protocol support.
Hardware resiliency, delivered with available redundant
power system support, allows for the continued operation
of the switch in the event of a power supply failure, and
supplements power for full PoE operation across all
ports. For high-availability fiber connections, the Switch
4800G 24-Port SFP comes with dual 1+1 redundant power
supplies with dual power inputs. All switches in this
family include fault detection and alarms, power supply
and fan monitoring, and remote management.
Convergence- eady Support
Built-in PoE enables certain models of the Switch 4800G
to power network-attached equipment, significantly
reducing costs associated with terminal equipment
cabling and management. ndustry-standard EEE
802.3af Power over Ethernet speeds deployment of Vo P,
wireless access points and network-attached video
surveillance camera systems.
The voice VLAN technology embedded in this family
ensures the highest level of security and performance by
placing voice traffic on a virtual voice network. By
identifying voice streams at their ports and adding
corresponding access ports to voice VLANs, the switches
provide dedicated channels for voice traffic. Priority rules
are then issued to ensure that voice streams are
transmitted before data or video streams and
conversation quality is optimal.
Unparalleled Quality of Service
The 3Com Switch 4800G offers L2–L4 packet filtering and
delivers flow classification based on source P and MAC
addresses, destination P and MAC addresses, ports,
protocols or VLANs. The switches also offer flexible
queue scheduling algorithms that support settings based
on ports and queues and include three scheduling
modes: Strict Priority (SP), Weighted Round Robin (WRR)
and SP+WRR. Committed Access Rate (CAR) provides
minimum granularity of 64 kbps. Outbound and inbound
port mirroring monitors and duplicates data packets for
network detection and troubleshooting.
23COM SWITCH 4800G GIGABIT FAMILY

33COM SWITCH 4800G GIGABIT FAMILY
Powerful, Integrated Management Capabilities
The Switch 4800G supports Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) versions 1/2c/3 and open
network management platforms such as OpenView and
the QuidView Network Management System (NMS).
For additional convenience, the switches may also be
managed via Command Line nterface (CL ), Web network
management, TELNET and Huawei Group Management
Protocol (HGMP) cluster (stacking) management.
Encryption modes such as SSH2.0, SNMPv3 and HTTPS
are embedded in the switch, ensuring that management
traffic is highly secure.
MAC-and protocol-based VLANs, combined with ACL
policies in the global or VLAN mode, minimize hardware
resources and simplify configuration. nbound and
outbound packets are randomly sampled and collected
according to a set ratio with the sFlow function. LLDP
and LLDP-MED are supported for standards-based
neighbor discovery.
edundant Power System Support
Four 3Com Switch 4800G models support a redundant
power system (RPS) connection.
RPS units provide these benefits:
›For PWR switches, an RPS can deliver more power
budget for EEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet than what
the switches alone can provide.
›They deliver redundant power to switches so there is
continued operation should the switch unit power supply
fail. This allows for continuous operation of advanced
Enterprise networks, particularly important for con-
verged networks running P phones on the network.
3Com H3C RPS Systems
3Com switches are compatible with 3Com H3C®RPS
solutions. These are enterprise-class power redundancy
systems that work with many 3Com fixed-configuration
switches. 3Com Corporation manufactures networking
equipment under the H3C brand for sale into many
markets.
These H3C RPS models are used with the Switch 4800G:
›the H3C RPS 1000 is 1U high and provides multiple
power output connections to support multiple switch
units at the same time. Two power rectifiers can be
installed for 1+1 load sharing and power redundancy. t
supports switches with -54V RPS connections, and
delivers sufficient power to fully provision all PoE ports
of a switch with full power redundancy.
›the RPS 800 provides selective DC outputs of +12V and
-54V. This is a fixed-configuration 1U high unit with a
single power rectifier and a single power connection.
Sufficient redundant power is available for provisioning
a single Switch 4800G 48- or 24-port non-PoE unit.
›the RPS 500 provides selective DC outputs of +12V and
-54V. This is a fixed-configuration 1U high unit with a
single power rectifier and a single power connection.
Sufficient redundant power is available for provisioning
a single Switch 4800G 24-port non-PoE unit.
